Starting Foundation (Prep)
Starting school is an exciting milestone. Our small classes, caring staff and supportive environment help every child feel safe, confident and ready to learn. We work closely with families to build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, wellbeing and social skills from the very first day.
During Terms 3 and 4, new Foundation students attend transition days, beginning with short morning visits and building up to full days in Term 4, so they get to know their classroom, teacher and new friends before they start. Our transition days are synchronised with the local Kindergarten and the Statewide Transition Days, so children move up together with familiar faces. You'll be advised of these dates when you enrol.
Not quite school age yet? Our Carra Caterpillars playgroup on Friday mornings is a gentle first taste of school. And once children start, families can access after school care through TheirCare.
The official enrolment process
Carraragarmungee is a Victorian government school, so enrolments follow the Department of Education process. Some families enrol online through VicStudents (via a Services Victoria login), and others prefer a paper form. In a small school, either works just as easily. The best first step is simply to get in touch and we'll let you know which suits you and walk you through it.
